Tamgaly Tas, Kazakhstan - May 2001
|
| The photos above and below illustrate the huge difference that lighting conditions make to the appearance of a bird. The top photo was taken on a dull, overcast day, while the two below were taken on a clear day with the bird bathed in a bright orange glow from the setting sun. |

Konshengal, Kazakhstan - May 2001
|
| In fresh winter plumage its colours are more subdued. In Goa, it can often be seen perched in the same bush as the more common Black-headed Buntings. The females of the two species are virtually identical, so mixed flocks like this allow a useful comparison of the subtle differences between the two. |
